M. Shanmuga Priya, Sanoj Kumar

Abstract

Investigations were carried out to study the biocontrol potential of Paecilomyces lilacinus on Meloidogyne incognita on tomato. Under glass house conditions, soil application of talc based formulation of P. lilacinus @ 4.0 g per 3 kg was found to be highly effective against M. incognita. It recorded the lowest nematode population and increased plant growth such as shoot length (65.5%), root length (84.3%), shoot weight (127.5%) and yield (195.2%).
